Matthew Stafford on Sunday became the first player in NFL history to hold the franchise record for passing touchdowns for two active teams, the Detroit Lions and the Los Angeles Rams.
Stafford, who spent 12 seasons with the Lions before signing with the Rams in 2024, previously set the Lions’ all‑time passing‑touchdown mark. After joining Los Angeles, he surpassed the Rams’ previous record holder, giving him the top spot in both franchises.
The achievement makes Stafford the only active player to own the passing‑touchdown record for multiple teams, a milestone that underscores his durability and productivity across more than a decade in the league.
Both the Lions and the Rams are long‑standing members of the National Football League, and each franchise’s record books now list Stafford as the career leader in passing touchdowns.
Stafford’s dual‑franchise record highlights a rare combination of longevity and high‑level performance, setting a benchmark that may stand for years to come.
